Finding Labels

Labels are user made tags which can be assigned to a finding. Each Cantina Code repository can have its own custom tags and the permissions of allowing a user to create or modify a tag depend on the circumstances of the engagement and security review type.

Finding Status

Below you can find a list with all the finding statuses used during a competition.
StatusDescription
NewOnce a finding is submitted by the security researcher, it will be labelled as new by default.
DisputedOn the occasion where the competition client disagrees with the judging decision of a finding, they would change the status of the finding to disputed while providing reasoning to the change.
RejectedUpon review, if the finding does not fit the criteria within the competitive scoring schema, the judge will list the finding as rejected.
DuplicateA finding is marked as duplicate when it’s the same issue reported by someone else. Duplicates are rewarded as well.
Potentially DuplicateSimilar functionality to Duplicate.
ConfirmedWhen the finding is valid, it will be labelled as confirmed and be awarded based on the competition prize pool.
AcknowledgedAfter a finding is confirmed by the judge, the competition sponsor will have to acknowledge and double confirm the issue.
FixedThe sponsor after acknowledging issues can apply fixes to the code. This label is used for bookkeeping of issues already fixed.
SpamWhen a finding is marked as spam, it typically refers to the issue reported being irrelevant, low-quality, automated and inappropriate. Both the judge and the sponsor can mark this status for findings.
WithdrawnIf the researcher submits an issue and decides to withdraw it for any reason, the finding will be labelled as “Withdrawn”.
